I decided to renew the license anyway, Litespeed started straight away, then looks like it required a server restart after trying to restart httpd a few times.

Now it's back up, missing a few posts from my forum which probably happened due to Litespeed stopping while the posts were being added.

But it works now that's the main thing

Since your license was not yet expired, server would not stop on expired license at all. You may want to double check the error_log (/usr/local/apache/logs/error_log) around the time it went down to see any details as to why it was stopped.
